(1) On the Supreme Court
Front: It UPHOLDS MICHIGAN BAN
on college affirmative action. Implications? The vote was 6 to 2,
with a liberal Justice Steven Breyer voting to uphold the ban. Is the tide turning?

Look out! There'll be a front page ad in the World
Journal nationwide,
urging AsAm students to step up and speak up. 80-20'll them up. Such
law suits will be filed in the federal District and Circuit Courts. We are
no longer on the defense all the time. Nowadays, we
take initiatives.

(3) In the Court of Public
Opinion:

(a) Mercury News editorial: "Affirmative action is yesterday's
solution to inequality." Mercury is a liberal paper. Is the dam breaking?

(b) NY Times seeks 80-20's view AGAIN on college admissions.
PLACE: "Room for Debate," where S. B. Woo
participated last year.
TOPIC: "Is it time to move to income-based
affirmative?"
PARTICIPATING FOR 80-20: Dr. Haibo Huang, an
80-20 Advisor.
He wrote an eloquent statement. To read it & add your comments,

NOTE the "full court press!" - in
all courts of the law, in the court
of public opinion, and in the political arenas in D.C. & CA through
the SCA 4 battle. Are you proud of 80-20's
vigorous defense
of your rights?

(4) The MOST IMPORTANT front -
the SELF-EMPOWERMENT front!

Thanks to YOU, 80-20 has reached $250,000 in 3 day, meeting
its goal. To verify, click here.
One day, when all may abandon
us, we'll STILL have 80-20 that believes in SELF!

Don't relax. SELF must, EACH day, raise an incredible $1,400/yr for
5 years to make its goal of $1,000,000/yr for 5 years by Oct. 21, 2015.
Note that a lump sum of $1,400 per day amounts to $280/yr for 5 years
ONLY. Please commit to donate FOR 5 YEARS. To donate, click here .

Why has the debate on admissions shiftedso QUICKLY in AsAms' favor?

When the victims, i.e. the AsAm students, have lawyers who said that
"we like being victims", then they
will remain victims. That was the case
when the so call AsAm "civil rights" orgs (CROs) like OCA & AAJC
filed
legal briefs SUPPORTING "race-conscious" college admissions time
& again.

Then, 80-20 came onto the scene.

2.5 years ago, 80-20 did a survey and found that 98.2% of AsAms prefer
"race-neutral" admissions. So 80-20 rose to defend you. We fought in
courts. We fought in the court of public opinion. We fought those
AsAm CROs.We also fought in the political arenas in D.C. and in CA
through SCA 5. That helped make a difference.

That is, once the victims, i.e. the AsAm students, clearly stated that "We OBJECT to being the victims", our nation begins to
respond.
Things change.

NATIONALLY, our effort to defeat race preference in college
admissions is gathering momentum. New Initiative? 80-20 is helping to
recruit plaintiffs - students unfairly reject by Harvard, UNC-Chapel Hill
and UW-Madison - to possibly sue these universities for their race
preference in admissions.

The rights of AsAm children are being vigorously
defended.

In CALIFORNIA, 80-20 helped defeat SCA 5* in short orders.
It's a political shocker that led to attentions on 80-20. S. B. Woo
received requests for interview or to speak as a panelist from:

SUMMARY: We are EMPOWERING ourselves!
Stopping SCA 5, or
even stopping race preference in admissions nationwide, is not in itself
that significant. In my mind, the following is significant!

The awakening of AsAms to rise and defend
ourselves; our
proven ability to hold AsAm
elected officials accountable; &
our new ability to induce AsAm
"civil rights orgs - financially
supported mostly by non-AsAms - to
be accountable to our
rightful interests ARE SIGNIFICANT! For example, OCA has
recently switched from its decades long SUPPORT of
"race-
conscious" admissions to ANTI-SCA
5.

Sad News From 80-20 - too
poor to last !

The annual budget of AIPAC, the fabled Jewish-Am political org., is $17 million.

80-20, by far the largest AsAm political organ., is an all volunteer
plus
one staff org., with an annual budget of $100,000.
It is 1/1700 that of AIPAC.

Is e82 it because our community is poor? NO. Is it because our population
is smaller? NO. We are 2.65 that of the Jewish population.

SELF: Self Empowerment
Long-term Fund

SELF aims to raise, within 2 years, at least
$1 million/yr. for 5 years.
Why? To help make 80-20 a lasting professional organization! I'll explain:

My title may be the president. In reality, I am also the janitor - I do
whatever things that are left undone. :-) I am 76 year old having served 80-
20 for 15 years, & donated about $100K to 80-20 (Note: there
are
Board Members who have given more!) I have begged
at least 10 AsAms,
since 2001, to be 80-20's president. NO TAKERS! I'm fading & WILL retire
at the end of 2016 presidential campaign to avoid damaging YOU and 80-20.
Who will take over and do our community justice? As you know, politics
need to be learned like everything else. I need 2 years to recruit, train a
good staff and pass on my political experience, knowledge & lessons learned
from my mistakes. A reasonably financially secure foundation for 80-20 is
necessary to recruit good people. That is why we must have $1 million/yr
for FIVE years.

For SELF to succeed, it must raise $250,000/yr for 5 year every 6
months!
The first 6 months ends in 3 day! SELF is $14,027/year for 5 years SHORT.

If we can't even meet the goal at the first time-mark, what is the chance that
it'll meet the target later? YOU be the judge!

If 140 AsAm families will generously commit to donating $100/yr for 5
years soon, we'll catch up. If 14 families will each donate $1,000/yr for 5
years, we'll catch up . If you donate $100 as a lump sum we'll need 750 such
families to reach the same goal, since a donation of $100 as a lump sum is
ONLY the equivalent of $20/yr for 5 years. :-(

There's light at the end of the tunnel to defeat
"race-conscious"
admissions NATIONALLY! The Fisher legal team in "Fisher v. Univ.
of Texas" is ready to mount a fierce wave of legal attacks against
the use of race as a factor in admissions.

Has your applications to Harvard, or UNC-Chapel Hill or UW-Madison
been unfairly rejected? If so, then RISE AND ACT! Take action to
force these universities to be fair to you. A great legal team is ready to
fight for you. Please visit one or more of these sites:

It'll take you at most 1 minute to fill a form
to be a potential plaintiff.
Itâ€™ll take you less than 5 minutes to read
through one of the 3 IDENTICAL
sites. Best yet, if you are selected as one of the plaintiffs, you'll
enjoy

(1)
Complete confidentiality,
unless you end up participating as a
plaintiff in a legal action against one of these
universities; (2) No cost. The Project of Fair Representation, headed by Edward
Blum,
will cover all expenses; and (3) No public exposure. Mostly likely you'll not be required to appear
or testify in court or talk to the media.

See the FAQ in each site to verify the above 3 points. The lawyers on our
side have greatly refined their approach to win equal opportunity for you. Step up and be counted. Do a great service
for all of us.

If a students does become a plaintiff, the amount of public exposure is
still somewhat subject to one's own choices. If you want to show the
courage of your conviction, you can be like Ms. Abigail Fisher. See
the photo below.
